Open Extended Reactions
Trey McBride set the NFL record for most receptions by a tight end in a single season during the Arizona Cardinals' 37-14 loss to the Bengals in Cincinnati on Sunday.
The Pro Bowler's record-setting 117th catch came with 4:41 left in the fourth quarter on a 5-yard hitch route. He finished with 10 catches for 76 yards, capping his day with an 18-yard touchdown in the final minutes.
McBride entered the game with 109 catches and needed eight to pass former teammate and mentor Zach Ertz (2018) for the record. Last season, the Jacksonville Jaguars' Evan Engram made a run at the mark but came up short with 114 receptions.
